@zarplod, I can totally relate to your entire post. I am also a musician and that comes somewhat naturally. Chess, on the other hand, is really difficult for me. I often feel that I just don't have the right kind of brain for it. But, I'm trying to follow the suggestions and be patient with myself. Good luck and enjoy the learning process!
What's your daily rating? I'm currently 923. If we're close in rating we should play. And we can talk about music. :-) I'm a composer and pianist. What's your instrument/voice?

My daily rating is 789; my rapid rating is 744. I play guitar and mandolin. I mostly play rootsy kinds of music--oldtime, folk, and a bit of bluegrass. What style of music do you play? Also, I'd love to play chess with you. Do you like the daily games?

I write a lot chamber orchestra and small instrumental ensemble stuff. Classical contemporary...how's that for a contradiction in terms?! :-) I accepted your friend request. Giving it is New Years Eve I won't be around much today and may be in no condition to play tomorrow, but I look forward to playing you soon! Thanks, Mike
